HANDEL
NINE GERMAN ARIAS

Hyperion CDA67627 - £11.00

Handel's nine glorious German Arias, sung by acclaimed soprano Carolyn Sampson, find the composer at his melodic best, with ecstatic settings in praise of nature and creation. The obbligato violin parts are stylishly played by the brilliant young French player Stéphanie-Marie Degand. TKC's principal oboist Alexandra Bellamy adds further colour and variety in Handel's charming three oboe sonatas.
